David’s most famous client would probably be Kevin Cogill. Unless you’re into the music scene, you might not have heard of him. He was arrested for leaking nine unreleased Guns N’ Roses songs from the album Chinese Democracy, which at that time hadn’t been released yet. Kevin used to work in distribution for the band’s record label and claims he received them from an anonymous source. He posted the songs on his web site, The Antiquiet, for free to download and his web site crashed from all the traffic. Word quickly got out and he was arrested by federal agents. He obviously lost his job, had to auction off his Gibson Les Paul guitar and set up a PayPal account on his web site to pay for legal fees. He faced a five-year prison sentence, but David got it down to one with a $100,000 fine. Not bad considering how the FBI is cracking down on piracy and the RIAA wanting $2.2 million.
